The coal regions of the west (bituminous) and east (anthracite) are the worse off. They really can offer little to industries to locate there....primarily unskilled labor is available, the towns are run down and shabby. The cities are nice, Centre County, home of Penn State is beautiful and a great place to live. But it's amazing how the inhabitants of those towns cling to the location and the culture. High School football is king and the whole town turns out for games. Those towns are very racist and largely inhabited by East European descendents one or two generations removed. Many folks will find a job in a city two hours or so away and either commute or return to the nest on Friday evening. Many others "collect" unemployment or assistance of some sort.
